Hey guys, I have got some more information on the engine in the truck, please convert from gearhead to newbie for me. I would like a bit more info on what I've got here and maybe a conservative idea of ponies we're dealing with.

MSD Blaster Coil

It has Dove C Heads, but other than a note that they were rebuilt and stainless valves installed I have no idea what other work might have been done. he said they were ported and polished, but I doubt it was the kind of port job talked about here that nets 50-75 horses.

Also made a note that the motor was clearanced for hi-performance and to check oil often and use a straight 40 or 50 weight. what does "clearanced" mean?

Thanks for any interpretation guys. I've got more to post other places I guess on the non-engine stuff.
